1Chronicles - Chapter 20 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out {cf15I to battle}, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
  • 2. And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and {cf15I there were} precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
  • 3. And he brought out the people that {cf15I were} in it, and cut {cf15I them} with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
  • 4. And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, {cf15I that was} of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
  • 5. And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff {cf15I was} like a weaver's beam.
  • 6. And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of {cf15I great} stature, whose fingers and toes {cf15I were} four and twenty, six {cf15I on each hand}, and six {cf15I on each foot}: and he also was the son of the giant.
  • 7. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
  • 8. These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
